When does a civil associated case end?

Answer 1

"When does a civil associated case end?"

There isn't a quick answer to your question.

A civil case may end in any of the following circumstances:

1) The plaintiff drops the suit by withdrawing the original complaint.
2) Both parties agree to a settlement and it is ordered by the judge.
3) The case has been abandoned by the plaintiff and a deafult judgment is made on behalf of the respondent.
4) The trial judge dismisses the case without prejudice.
5) The trial judge issues a final ruling on all pending matters and neither party files a motion to reconsider or an appeal within the allotted time.
6) The case is appealed to the highest level of appeals allowed by the circumstances of the case.

Answer 2

A civil case ends when a final judgment has passed and the appeals process has been exhausted. After a trial court renders judgment, a case could be appealed to the appellate court, to the state supreme court, and then possibly to the United States Supreme Court.

Answer 3

When the court says it does! Many are time limited, but are extended because of a failur to comply!
